CHICAGO, May 10.-Ben lBullwinkle, the
famous ex-chief of the Chicago fire insur-
ance patrol. has died at Flagstaff, Ari, from
injuries received by being thrown from his
horse. He was a stakeholder In the Arizona
Cattle Company and It's manager. Capt.
Bullwinkle's connection with the fire patrol
dates from its organization In 1871 10 Nov. 1,
1885, when he resigned. He was born in
New York city in ls47. but came to Chicago
when ten years old. In the summer of 1871
the Chicago Fire Underwriters decided to
organize patrol system, and selected as its
captain, Bullwinkle, who was then driving
the wagon Of Chief William of the FIRE de-
partment. Bullwinkle went to New York
to familiarize himself with the workings Of
the patrol there, and when he came back the
system here was established.

panies had no money left with which to sup

together and did as good work as 1t knew

winkle remained its chief. Bullwinkle was

GRAVES GUILTY.
The Jury Returns a Verdict of Murder
in the Second Degree.
Tho Prisoner Receives the News with
Composure.
Arguments Of the Counsel and the
Charge of Judge Foster.

CALAIS, May 10.--There was another
dense crowd in the court room here this
morning to witness the Graves trial.
The State recalled Ira McReavy, who testi-
fed that he did not see Graves remove the
shells from his gun or hear any threats by
Niles or Hill against either Graves or Nc
Farland. Witness remembered no such con-
versation as Bacon testified to yesterday.
Colonel Hutchings commenced the argu-
ment for the defence at 10.40 o'clock this
morning. He seemed in poor physical con-
dition, but talked with energy and effect
He believed that Graves could legally be
convicted only of justifable homicide. He
explained the provocations, the prisoners
passion, and said the only thing the man
could do in Self-defence was to shoot when
he had no time to mediate. The threats, if
made by Graves, did not necessarily indicate
premedtated murder. Graves loved his
family and his home possessed all the do
nestle affinities On account of his previous
good character the counsel asked for SYM
pathy. The peroration was very forcble.
Colonel Hutchings consumed most of the
morning session in his plea for the defence.
1t was the result of much thought, skill
and preparation, included every fragment of
evidence In its discussion and conclusions,
and made an exceedingly strong case for his
client 1t is the subject of much favorable
comment from all who listened to it.
Attorney General Baker delivered the
argument for the government in the after
noon, speaking for over two hours. His pre-

hensiye, and brought home with strong
directness the prisoners crime He held the
undivided attention of his audience and
produced visible effect.
Judge Fosters charge was as wise, under
standing, able and lucid an effort. which
covered every legal point and left nothing to
be explained, as was ever given to a jury.
The jury retired at 6.15 clock. The excite
ment was intense and hundreds of people
were in the court room waiting for the ver-
dict.
At 7.50 o'clock the jury notified the court
that they had come to decision, and at 500
o'clock they entered the court room and took
their seats. The news spread rapidly and
the people focked in. A concert in progress
at the time was almost entirely deserted.
Clerk Longfellow asked the usual ques-
tions. Foreman Andrew J. Deupleisa made
answer: "Guilty of murder in the second
degree"
Graves, though outwardly calm, was pale
and visibly excited. When the result was
announced, he smiled and looked relieved.
In answer to question whether he was
satisfied with the result, he said: II would
rather have it SO than stay six months in the
county jail am perfectly satisfied

Queen VIctoria's jubilee.


1t was pointed out by a London Journal
nearly two years ago that Queen Victoria
was approaching the fiftieth anniversary Of
her accession to the throne under circum-
stances Of national harmony and content
greatly contrasting with those which sur
rounded the jubilees Of the three other
English soverigns who have had reigns as
long as hers. Since then the present troubles
in Ireland have occurred, and now the sug-
gestion derived from the historic comparison
is Of quite another sort

in trOublOuS times. Still, Henry III L. In the
autumn Of 1866, when the fftieth anniver-
sary OF his accession came around, E>d gen.
uine occasion for rejoicing, since Prince
Edward had the year before defeated the
Earl Of Leicester at Evesham and put an
end to the civil war In which the monarch
had been engaged with the Barons. The
questlonably fell in melancholy DAYS. His
son, the Black Prince, had died only six
months earlier; the famous victories In
France had been succeeded by disasters the
King had sunk into indolent Indulgence, and
was In trouble with his Parliament, and six
months after his fiftieth anniversary he died
The grandfather Of Queen Victoria, at his
jubilee celebration In 1910, was already q vic
tim to that malady which delivered his last
years 10 mental imbecility. There were dis
SensiOns in the royal family, and there was
anxiety all over Europe at the career OF Boz
naparte, then at the height Of success. Still,
England was encouraged by the stout tight
made IN Spain by Wellington.
Altogether, IL might be forcing history TO
attempt any very sharp contrast, in point Of
popular cOntentment and concord, In favor
OF England's fourth royal jubilee, which Is TO
be celebrated next month, over those Of 1865,
1877, and 1910. In Ireland, especially. 1887 Is
rather year Of coercion than Of jubilee, and
there must seem TO be something Ike mock

| injunction: "Ye shall hallow the fiftieth
year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the

| tions have appeared Of an intent TO make II

| lation or for Government benetcence.
